Craig Kimbrel pitched Tuesday night, which normally wouldnt seem like a big deal, but considering how quiet his month has been, its news.

Last night’s Padres-Braves game came and went. Odds are none of you watched it and that’s a damn shame because you missed the catch of the night. Logan Forsythe, the Padres infielder hit what looked like a routine foul ball…until a Padres ball girl named Catalina stepped in.

Out of the rest of the teams, San Antonio was shutout, Eugene was 2-hit, and Fort Wayne was 4-hit. Lake Elsinore managed to put up 4 runs, but they couldn’t keep the JetHawks off the board as they lost 12-4.Hitting...

As the old cliche goes, all good things must come to an end. Thus the Padres ran into a road block in their win streak last night. Even though Andrew Werner pitched awesome again last night, he was stuck with the tough luck loss. The tough luck was the fact that he had to go up against Kris Medlen who has been nothing short of outstanding lately. I'm hoping that Werner doesn...
